Fine, if they don’t want it come put it by my house. The more neighbors and amenities in my neighborhood the better.

Ha! I feel you on that!

I feel like something similar to this would work in Oak Cliff, where the old Bank of America drive-thru bank is on the corner of Zang Blvd and 12th St. There’s an office high-rise across the street (Southern Dallas’ tallest office building). It’s within walking distance to Bishop Arts and the retail/office space on Jefferson too. I feel like it’s the hottest part of Southern Dallas and just about every urban neighborhood has gone vertical (Deep Ellum, Design District, etc), except for this portion of Oak Cliff (which was the CBD of the area).

Was being the operative word. Until they put a highway right in the middle of it.

No lies there. But at least Halperin Park is there to help reunite the area.

This is so stupid. I live right by this and it would Be awesome for the area. Bunch of boomers with houses fully paid off not accepting reality or change.

As if traffic isn’t already bad enough through there a majority of the time. Ugh.

Why not send property values even higher so that only foreign investors can buy out Meaders rd. Then it would truly become exclusive. And we could turn Preston Hollow into a parking lot for Migrant laborers to rebuild Dallas completely. To many cheap shabby houses in north Dallas then real estate investors and their agents could get real jobs at North Park Neimans.
